CEA-Liten is a major European research institute and a driving force behind the development of the sustainable energy technologies of the future. The institute is spearheading the EU’s efforts to limit dependency on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in three key areas: renewable energy, energy efficiency/storage and development of materials.

CEA-Liten is involved in several aspects of the NIMPHEA project and will support the development of high-temperature MEAs by improving their description and understanding. In particular, CEA-Liten is involved in the development of electrodes and will carry out nanostructural characterisation of materials and components, focusing on the catalyst/electrolyte interface.

In addition, CEA-Liten will carry out electrochemical characterisations which will be analysed using the PEMFC HT MEA models developed in the project in order to quantify the most limiting phenomena. Once calibrated, the models will also be used to improve the design of the stack’s bipolar plate.

“This project is a real opportunity for CEA to strengthen and extend its expertise in the field of high-temperature PEMFCs to meet the challenges of aviation’s demanding requirements while contributing to its decarbonisation.”
